Reporter comment USDA

As filed

There were too few head to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were very light as Tropical Storm Elsa passed through the region. Cattle quality was attractive.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
